The Politics of Praise: Naming God and Friendship in Aquinas and Derrida by Will

Description: The Politics of Praise by William W. Young Iii Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description While the revelation of Gods name is a central theological topic, its ethical and political significance are often overlooked. In a world filled with violence committed in the name of God, how might invoking Gods name enable peace, community, and hope? The Politics of Praise argues that the redemptive potential of naming God lies in how this event transforms friendship. It breaks new ground by tracing the connections between naming God and friendship in the work of Thomas Aquinas and Jacques Derrida. Advancing an innovative reading of Aquinas on the divine names, the book explores how Dionysius mysticism shapes Aquinas appropriation of Aristotles ethics, then retraces how Derridas reading of religion renders possible an alternative conception of friendship. These explorations lead to a surprising convergence between Aquinas and Derrida on the conditions of friendship. Author Biography William W.
